Who, me?
I've been having lumps checked since my early 40s - now I'm 64 and suddenly the 'call back' didn't end with a needle biopsy or aspiration, but with 'you've got cancer' (that's the only bit I heard). ...
Welcome Linda
this site was my lifeline after my diagnosis - it's the one place where you can be totally honest -
i know I put my brave face on a lot for friends an family but here I was free to write about my fears and uncertainty- and there is always someone who understands and knowing you are not alone is very comforting.
i am now 15 months post bilateral mastectomy and on the tail end of my reconstruction. There is light at the end of the tunnel it just is a bit hard to see sometimes in the beginning - or you mistake it for a train coming at you -
ask lots of questions ( nothing is silly) and come here often.
sending big hugs
